Throughout the qualification, a range of theory and practical assessments will support your learning and test your knowledge and skills development. You will be taught by industry professional staff within our new modern commercial salons.

Ongoing assessment is by multiple-choice question tests that you complete online, as well as working on clients to gain competency and confidence within this speciality field.

Throughout the qualification, we will also be working on the development of your Employability Skills as well as your Maths and English.

All entrants must hold 4 GCSEs at grade 3 or equivalent or above, to preferably include GCSE Maths and English at grade 3 or above.
Entrants who do not have a GCSE grade 4 in Maths and/or English will continue studying these subjects.
